That fear turned to realty in January at Kissimmee Fire Department Station 11, when crewmen found longtime firefighter Steve Hensley unresponsive and bleeding on the fire truck bays concrete floor. Station 11, located on North Clyde Avenue, was sharing their facility with members of Ladder 13 when Hensley suffered cardiac arrest. Ladder 13 engineer Brad Allen was the first to find Hensley, who just moments before had been talking to his wife on a cell phone. He wasnt breathing and didnt have a pulse, Allen said. It was really fortunate I found him. In the evening like that, somebody could go hours without walking across the garage without a call. Allen yelled for the rest of the crew and began chest compressions after realizing Hensleys heart had stopped. With the efforts of 11 other men, Hensley was resuscitated. The 11 crewmen who saved Hensleys life will be honored Tuesday at the Kissimmee City Commission meeting at Kissimmee City Hall. It was a blessing that they found him, Ladder 11 Battalion Chief Eric Cruz said. The guys did a suburb job. The crew transported him to Osceola Regional Medical Center, just a minute away from the fire station, where doctors opened Hensleys blocked heart vessel at the Central Florida Cardiac & Vascular Institute. After two months off duty recuperating, Hensley has returned to full duty. This event is truly our finest hour, Fire Chief Jeremy Donovan said. In the history of the city of Kissimmee Fire Department, this is a success story to rival no other. Saving your own is the highest honor for any firefighter. Hensleys fellow firefighters followed their training to save his life but never lost sight that he was a member of the fire department. It was awful, Allen said. You have to do what youre trained to do but you cant really separate your feelings. Lt. Bill Manning echoed Allens feelings. Its the worst day of your life to walk upon one of your own that is down, he said. But youre getting paid to do what you do for a living. In true firefighter fashion, the men joked about a serious situation as a coping mechanism. I think the only better place (for Hensley to have cardiac arrest) was in Firefighters honored for saving one of their own News-Gazette Photo/Andrew SullivanThe crews from Kissimmee Fire Station 11 and Ladder 13, who were based from Station 11 while their own station was under repair, were instrumental in the saving of one of their fellow firefighters lives earlier this year. Those involved were will be commended for their heroism at a City Commission meeting Tuesday. See Firefighters, page A-3 County By Ken Jackson Staff W riter A discussion on how to get to Austin-Tindall Park or the Orlando International Airport from eastbound U.S. Highway 192 right now goes something like this: Make a left on Boggy Creek Road, then go to the fourth light and turn left on Boggy Creek, then go to the end and turn on Boggy Creek. If you need gas theres a station at the corner of Boggy Creek and Boggy Creek. Sometime this year, that route could become less confusing. County Manager Don Fisher reported at a recent meeting of the Board of County C ommissioners t hat staff would be asking the board for direction to change the names of some streets in the areas of the Osceola County Jail, Osceola Heritage Park and Buenaventura Lakes. If a resolution passes, Boggy Creek R oad would never approach the Kissimmee city limits again. It would stretch south out of Orange County, cross State Road 417 and continue eastward to its terminus at Narcoossee Road, as it does currently. The road that meets that, and heads southward to intersections with Osceola Parkway and Buenaventura Boulevard, would become Simpson Road all the way to U.S. 192. Road name changes proposed See County, page A-6A Kissimmee woman was killed in an Osceola County crash on Wednesday after the van she was driving overturned. According to the Florida Highway Patrol, Shari Rivera, 49, of Kissimmee, was driving a 2007 Dodge van westbound on West Southport Drive at about 6:20 a.m., when for an unknown reason it left the roadway. The van then struck a tree and overturned. Rivera was taken to Osceola Regional Medical Center where we she was pronounced dead. The crash remains under investigation. Police newsKissimmee woman killed in crash By Peter Covino Lifestyles Editor Can you cook better than your four-year-old? Some of the youngest aspiring chefs in Osceola County can try out their cooking skills thanks to some new cooking classes being offered by the city of Kissimmee Parks and Recreation Department. The classes will be held each Thursday beginning April 4. Classes will be divided into two age groups: ages 4-7 years old and ages 8-12 years old. Chef Pebbles, also known as cook and mom, Beena Hadley, will conduct the classes, Emily Salzman, recreation and leisure services coordinator for the parks and recreation department said. Both classes will be taught at the Orange Gardens Community Center. The classes will be age appropriate, Salzman said, with Hadley guiding the youngsters. For the littlest chefs that means just a few ingredients and the kids can eat their creations right their on the spot, she said. The emphasis will be on encouraging healthy eating and a healthy lifestyle. Chef Pebbles, who is an experienced chef in the county, was inspired by her own 3-year-old to start the cooking class in the city. My daughter, Zoe, loves to be in the kitchen, making salads, cupcakes and banana bread, she said. The chef said recipes will be kept simple for the classes, but can get more advances as the young cooks feel more comfortable in the kitchen. Planned dishes at this point include salads, wraps and pasta. It will be a safe and enjoyable environment, she said, and will help youngsters develop self-confidence and the life-long skill of cooking. I am pretty e xcite d about teaching the classes, Hadley said. Cost of the classes is $65 a month for 4-7 year old attendees (held each Thursday from 5:30 6:30 p.m.) and $70 a month for 8-12 year olds (held each Thursday from 6:30 7:30 p.m.) For more information or to register, visit the Oak Street Park Community Center at 717 N. Palm Ave. or call 407-518-2360. Registration also is available online at www.kissimmee.org. City officials are hoping to expand the classes to other age groups in the near future.Hey kid, want to cook in Kissimmee?

Saturday, March 30, 2013 NEWS-GAZETTE, Page A3 By Ken Jackson Staff W riter According to paperwork filed with the Florida Department of Economic Opportunity, former Osceola County School Board member Cindy Hartig has applied for unemployment benefits to be paid by the School District. After initially rejecting a claim in October, the state approved a second claim made in D ecember. The School District, however, is appealing the decision. During her campaigning to earn re-election, she said she managed a technology systems company, Information Technology Development, but the company is no longer at the South John Young Parkway address listed and a tax preparation company occupies the suite. A document from the states Employment Assistance Program stated that unemployment benefits are payable b ecause the claimant is unemployed. Under a separate Notice of Determination, the document states that Hartig was discharged because she was not re-elected, her term ended, she does not have a reasonable assurance to be re-hired. Hartig was defeated by a 2-to-1 margin by Tim Weisheyer in the August 2012 election for the district seat 3. School District spokesperson Dana Schafer confirmed that the district has filed an appeal that Economic Opportunity has yet to act on. Weve appealed, but w eve not b een told yet whether its been accepted, she said. (Hartig) was not an employee, she wasnt hired by us, we couldnt fire or discipline her. She was defeated in an election. In t he appeal submitted to the state by School Board Attorney Gary Glassman, which was received on March 8, it was noted that the district did not exercise control over her work or that of any other board members nor did it supply Ms. Hartig with the instrumentalities for doing her work as a typical employer would. Therefore, she is not entitled to unemployment compensation benefits, the appeal says in closing. History shows that there have never been reports at least published ones of a politician formally applying for unemployment benefits in Central Florida as a result of not getting re-elected. Schafer said if the state allows Hartigs claim to stand, it could set a dangerous precedent that would make governments financially responsible for candidates failing to win re-election. This could open the door for anyone who loses an election to get paid, she said. Those collecting unemployment benefits are eligible for up to $275 per week in compensation, minus any income they make while working part-time. While collecting, they must log the jobs leads they have investigated on the Department of Economic Opportunity website weekly. Hartig could not be reached for comment for this By Brian McBride Editor Kissimmee city officials want to ensure that residents dont have to witness any neighbors publicly slaughtering animals after receiving complaints. At a March 19 City Commission meeting, municipal leaders approved requesting to advertise an ordinance prohibiting the public slaughter of animals. According to staff reports, recent code enforcement activity has resulted in cases where hunting game animals were reported to have been butchered or slaughtered on residential property, often occurring in public view of their neighbors. Since the current code does not address the prohibition of slaughtering of these types of animals in public view, code enforcement action is often limited, reports stated. In one certain case, residents complained that a neighbor that brought home a wild hog from a hunt had slaughtered it in his backyard and then hung the carcass on a tree. The neighbors were complaining that the kids could see it, Kissimmee City Attorney Don Smallwood said. The code, if approved over two public hearings, would prohibit the slaughter or butcher of animal in public view unless conducted solely within a bona fide slaughterhouse or butcher pen as determined by the city. Any violations would not carry criminal penalties, but rather be dealt by code enforcement. Both hearings would likely be in April, Smallwood said. the cath lab itself, firefighter Tyler Mattson said. The crew want to use this experience to educate the public about the importance of getting CPR certified and knowing basic first aid techniques that can be used to save another persons life in the event of an emergency. The American Heart Association has introduced Hands-only CPR to encourage community CPR efforts for strangers to help save someone they dont know. With Hands-only CPR, a person needs to complete two steps: call 911 and push hard and fast in the center of the chest with their hands on top of one another and fingers interlaced. A video demonstration and other life-saving techniques can be found on the AHA website, www.heart.org. All of the chain of survival events the American Heart Association advocate came to fruition in Engineer Hensleys resuscitation. Early recognition, early CPR and defibrillation, early advanced life support and rapid transport to a cardiac specialty center came to pass, Donovan said. Without a doubt, the rapid and professional response from his fellow firefighters is why Steve is still with us today. Firefighter Marlon Rose also said that 911 dispatchers will walk a caller through CPR in the event of an emergency. Theres no such thing as bad CPR, as long as youre d oing something. All y our e doing is delaying death, Cruz said, adding the public should take annual CPR classes. Visit the A merican Hear t Associations website to find CPR and first aid courses in the area.

Page A4, When I was in the service, the camp theater used to show stirring, heroic World War II or Korean War movies once a week. We scoffed at John Wayne night but went anyway mostly to chuckle at little errors in the films. One had a scene with a guy firing a Browning Automatic Rifle for about a full minute (which would be a neat trick) and then holding it on his shoulder by the barrel, like a baseball bat, as he pondered the nature of life, death and the universe. We wondered if they peeled the actors melted skin off the white-hot barrel of the BAR, after that scene. More than 40 years after leaving the Marine Corps, I dont know much about guns. But Ive watched a lot of politicians campaigning and a lot of legislators debating tragic topics. I know when theyre letting their hopes overrule their heads on heart-tugging topics like drunk driving or child abuse. There isnt much of a gun debate in Tallahassee compared to what we see in Congress and some other states. There are a couple of bills to require universal background checks for all gun sales, but they have no chance of passage, even though a Quinnipiac University Poll last week said nine out of 10 Floridians like the idea. Legislators will also talk about the 2005 Stand Your Ground law, allowing use of deadly force in self-defense. Nothing much is expected to change. Many citizens reacting to the mass murders in Newtown, Conn., Aurora, Co., and Tucson or yearning to curb the daily toll of domestic violence or gang shootings all over the country have gone to their legislators with excellent intentions. But emotion overwhelms the logic of their ideas. President Obama, Sen. Diane Feinstein, D-Calif., and other Democrats say the grieving parents of Newtown deserve a vote on an assault-weapons ban. But Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., blocked it from the Senate floor last week for a shrewd political reason -he doesnt want five or six Democratic senators in red states defeated next year, if the Senate passes a gun bill and sends it to certain death in the House. The trouble with banning assault weapons, but not regular rifles, is that it contradicts Isaac Newton. Hes the physicist who came up with all that stuff about bodies in motion obeying natural laws of force and momentum. A gun is a machine that accelerates a small ounce of lead from zero to about 2,500 feet per second. Once the projectile leaves the muzzle, it doesnt matter if the thing that launched it is shaped like a pistol, a rifle or a piano. Banning a device because of its silhouette may feel good but does not make us safer. Similarly, Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York is retooling a ban on ammunitio n magazines holding more than seven bullets. But nobody makes a seven-round magazine. Or maybe somebody does. Theyre not real sure but, never mind, they just really wanted to pass a law. Cuomos solution: Keep 10-round magazines legal, but make it illegal to put more than seven rounds in one. (Maybe next, New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will compromise in his campaign against 16-ounce soft drinks, to say we can put 10 ounces of Coke in a big cup.) Leave aside the idea of police making a rifle owner count out the number of rounds in a clip, or Second Amendment issues sure to be raised when the New York law goes into effect April 15. The debate has spotlighted a childlike faith in gun control on the part of the news media. There probably arent many NRA members at the New York Times, for instance. After Cuomos news conference, the papers Albany bureau last week reported that seven-round magazines are not widely manufactured. But the same story quoted Cuomo, There is no such thing as a sevenbullet magazine. That doesnt exist. So you really have no practical option. So which is it? Not widely manufactured, or doesnt exist? Like those Hollywood film makers who knew little of guns, like reporters who arent clear on the concept of no such thing, some well-meaning legislators dont let facts get in the way of feeling virtuous.

He can be contacted at billcotterell@gmail.com The calendar seems to move faster and faster. With the spring season now upon us in Osceola County, our l ocal chambers of commerce are moving forward, both with new leadership. While some may dwell on the negative economic conditions, we believe strongly our local chambers play a key role in the betterment of our community. Today, forward thinking new ideas and outside the box initiatives drive these strong groups. Its important to understand the issues of our business community and work hard to lead efforts to aggressively pursue every opportunity. Change can be terrific, provided the talent and well-balanced leadership is driving that change. At the Kissimmee/Osceola County Chamber of Commerce, new President Dave Nolan certainly brings a fresh perspective and style to the county. Daves experience is one of growing business, promoting strong relationships and making the best of the resources available. It is refreshing to see energy beaming from the talented group at the chamber building, without the atmosphere of politics. The mission of the Kissimmee/Osceola County Chamber of Commerce is to provide valuable member benefits, expand our economic base, support quality education, promote tourism, and encourage good government. Heading down U.S. Highway 192 to the east end of the county we anticipate an announcement from the St. Cloud Greater Osceola Chamber of Commerce on its new leader in the next month. Last years departure of former president David Lane left a large void; however, the experienced staff and strong membership have kept all things moving forward. The St. Cloud Greater Osceola Chamber is geared to create a stronger, more dynamic and prosperous business community. In todays economy, leadership can make or break an organization. We look forward to a strong new leader being named, and watching this organization continue to promote all the terrific opportunities in St. Cloud. The first impressions of a majority of visitors, potential businesses and future residents to Osceola County start at these chambers. We are fortunate to have two extremely positive, active, and established chambers of commerce here in Osceola County.

Chambers of Commerce vital to Osceola CountyDear Whomever is in Charge of Customer Service for DirecTV: All I wanted was to watch the game. I was back in my hotel room after a long day and I figured, what better way to unwind? Now, the game wasnt available on the hotel channels, but Ive got that League Pass service you offer and one of its perks supposedly is that you can watch the game right on the ol iPad. So I got out the ol iPad and I fired up the app and I retrieved the password and I tried to sign in and nothing happened, so I called you guys and t he robot lady answered and told me to OPRIMA NUMERO DOS if I wanted to conduct my business in Spanish, which I didnt, so I didnt and I said yes when the robot lady asked if I was a subscriber and I gave her my phone number when she asked for it and then she asked me to tell her what I wanted, and I tried to explain twice but she didnt get it, so I told her I had a question about League Pass and she gave me this long spiel about how I could buy League Pass, which I didnt need to do, since I already had it, so I asked the robot lady to connect me with technical support and she said she would and thats about when she hung up on me, so I called again and I went through the whole thing again and this time I got to a human being who listened to my problem and what I had done to solve it, expressed remorse, then told me to do the same things I had done, which had not worked the first time, and when I did and it didnt work again, this person transferred me to another person who also expressed remorse and then, reading from a manual, told me to do the thing I had done, which hadnt worked the first two times, and when I explained this, transferred me to a third person who dutifully expressed remorse and quickly concluded he could not help me and told me to contact the NBA. By this point, the game was at halftime. I gave up. So anyway, Mr. or Ms. Whomever is in Charge, heres the thing: Can I talk to a human being next time? Ill pay extra if you simply have the phone answered by someone with a pulse. Not just you. I make the same offer to my cellphone company, my Internet provider, the electric company and the bank. I am willing to pay more if it means that when I call your company, my call will be answered by an actual, knowledgeable human being who will listen to my problem and solve it. That doesnt seem much to ask. Once upon a time, it wasnt. But that was before technology made our lives simpler and more convenient. It was before the age turned distant and impersonal and human beings became cost inefficient. It was before someone got the bright idea to let robots answer the phone. Meaning not just machines that use voice recognition software to misunderstand what youre asking for and route your call to the wrong department, but also those human robots who, once they do get your call, read mechanically from a script that requires them to express remorse for your problem, explain why they cant fix your problem, try to up sell you on some new service that does not address your problem, then ask if you are satisfied with how they have resolved your problem. Those old movies that told us how machines would take over the world had it wrong. One does not see human skulls crushed beneath robot feet. No, one just sees human spirit crushed beneath robot customer service. One misses the days when companies employed actual people to serve actual people and if they were occasionally surly, clueless or unhelpful, they were at least real -capable of acknowledging your presence. How much to get that back? Seriously. You could market it as a premium package. DirecTV Pulse -Now With Real Humans! Give me a call and lets discuss. Press 3 for English.

According to a hospital press release, Krieger brings more than 25 years of experience in hospital leadership roles to Osceola Regional. He previously served as CEO of Delray Medical Center in Delray Beach. Under his leadership, the hospital was recognized as one of the Top 50 Best Hospitals by HealthGrades and outscored state and national CMS Core Measure averages. Krieger has also worked at Humana Hospital Biscayne in Miami, and Humana Hospital in Louisville, Kentucky. He served as a consultant to hospitals in Texas and California.

The number attached to the call box at the front gate of her Hidden Harbor subdivision for the address listed in her DEO documents also was disconnected when visited this week. Hartig also is awaiting word from the Orange-Osceola State Attorneys Office about the results of a hacking investigation that the Osceola County Sheriffs Office forwarded to it for review. The School District and Sheriffs Office determined that the unique IP address for a computer belonging to Hartig logged into School Board Chairman Jay Wheelers School District email account just before 6 a.m. on Nov. 7. The Sheriffs Office forwarded felony charges of criminal use of personal identification information and offense against computer users, violations of state Statutes and third-degree felonies, against Hartig. The State Attorneys office has yet to render a ruling on the matter. It is already called Simpson Road from Fortune Road to 192. The east-west portion of highway from the intersection at 192 just west of the Osceola Heritage Park and crossed Bill Beck Boulevard will become Fortune Road, which is the name that road takes when it crosses the current Boggy Creek/Simpson Road intersection. When the name changes are all complete, Simpson Road will run north from 192 just west of the Floridas Turnpike interchange all the way to Boggy Creek Road, and Fortune Road will run west from Partin Settlement Road to 192 west of OHP. Fisher said the name change will coincide with construction work that will begin in six to nine months to improve (current) Boggy Creek Road intersections at Osceola and Boggy Creek. Well hold public workshops to get input, but we think its a good time to do this when were working on that part of the road, he said. Also at the March 11 meeting, Osceola Legislative Effort chairman Tom Franklin laid out the pareddown list of the priorities it will take to Tallahassee for the 60-day legislative session that began earlier this month. The three top priorities Franklin listed were to procure funding for an emergency services training facility at the Technical Education Center for Osceola County (TECO), which will be an $11 million project when fully funded, get start up and operations funds for a county mental health triage program and pay for stormwater improvement projects suggested by the Toho Water Authority. Franklin also read th e Commission a list of secondary issues, one of which included opposing the creation of a Central Florida Expressway Authority that would have a higher proportion of Orange County representation than any of the other counties represented, thereby hindering the inroads made by the Osceola County Expressway Authority to get roads on its master plan built. It picks the pocket of Osceola County in relation to Orange County, Franklin said. Other secondary items include insuring funding remains earmarked for projects to update Hoaglan d Boulevard, begin construction on the Kissimmee Intermodal Center in the downtown area and work toward the possible creation of a Valencia College campus in Poinciana. Franklin said the group will also be monitoring its issues and priorities as much as possible.

Saturday, March 30, 2013 NEWS-GAZETTE, Page A7 Osceola, St. Cloud advance at Klassic Sports briefsIt seems lately that every Wednesday or Thursday, when I write this column, the weather turns cold and thus the water temperature cools down. By the time you read the column on Saturday, its 80 degrees and the water temperatures are on the upswing again. I guess this is another of those weeks. Bluegills are spawning and a lot of crickets are being sold for bait. Along Kissimmee grass lines, especially on the south end of the lake, some good catches are being reported. Shell beds are a good bet also, if you know where to locate them. Ive been in several areas where you can actually smell the bluegills around their spawning areas. Bass fishing has been fairly good, considering the type of weather weve been having. With all the windy days weve had, spinner baits have been doing pretty good. Of course with the cooler weather, you will probably catch five chain pickerel for every bass you catch. One day last week, my son Ross was throwing a spinner bait with a trailer hook on it and caught a pickerel on one hook and a bass on the other. Fishing b ass with wild shiners has been very good, even with the nasty weather. Twelve to 20 bass per trip has been the average. Ive been catching most of my bass on shiners, in 4 to 6 feet of water. Hydrilla edges and Kissimmee grass edges have worked best for me. Look for news of county boat ramps being renovated in the near future. As I receive information, I will pass it on to you. Send information about your big catch to capjac@ usfamily.net. Jacque MitchellFishin Fun Warmer temps will help fishingRock Groupe homecomingRelatives and friends of former Gateway High quarterback Rock Groupe are holding a Celebrate Life with Rock reunion April 20 at 10 a.m. at Life Assembly, 2269 Partin Settlement Road, Kissimmee. Groupe was the quarterback for the Panthers from 1988-90 and was a multisport star at the school. Groupe, now living in Arizona with his wife and three children, recently was diagnosed with Stage IV colon cancer and he is undergoing aggressive treatment.

The Storm are led by No. 1 singles and doubles player Richard Cruz, who is unbeaten in conference play, and No. 2 singles player Jacob Glodde, also unbeaten in the conference. Dante Cruz, at No. 3 singles, and No. 4, Luis Penagos also went unbeaten in the conference.A-7 By Rick Pedone Sports Editor St. Cloud made a successful return to the Kissimmee Klassic softball tournament Thursday with a come-from-behind 9-8 win over Trinity Prep, and host Osceola rallied for two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning to edge St. Petersburg Canterbury School, 3-2. Both teams play today, the final day of the 32-team tournament at the Osceola County Softball Complex. The Bulldogs, 10-6, played Cape Coral Ida Baker, a 4-1 winner over Davie Western, in the Gold bracket quarterfinals Friday. The winner plays in the semifinal round today at 10:45 a.m. Osceola, 17-2, advanced to the Blue bracket quarterfinals Friday against Chicago Marist, a 6-1 winner over Winter Springs. The winner plays today at 12:30 p.m. in the semifinal round. The Klassic concludes today with the Gold and Blue bracket championship games at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $10. The Lady Bulldogs trailed 5-0 Thursday before scoring four runs in the fourth inning and five more in the sixth. Sarah Crawfords solo home run jump started the Bulldogs and her two-run double in the fifth inning keyed that rally. Madison Urquoila had a two-run double in the fourth. Trinity Prep, which built a 5-0 lead thanks to a few St. Cloud fielding mistakes, returned the favor with six errors to help St. Cloud, 10-6, battle back. Lindsay Markham earned the win in relief. It was St. Clouds first appearance at the tournament since 2010. St. Cloud Coach Ray Whobrey said it was an important win for a young Bulldogs team that starts nine underclassmen, four freshmen. It was a big step for us. It was the first time this year I saw us show some maturity, Whobrey said. Kali Jones spurred Osceolas game-winning seventhinning rally with a leadoff double, her third hit of the night. She took third on Morgan Crapos sacrifice and scored when Noemi Chavezs fly to deep right field was dropped for an error. Chavez took third, and scored the winning run on Chantal Crocketts infield grounder. Osceola took a 1-0 lead in the first inning when Jones reached on an infield single and scored from second on an infield error. Pat Ortiz made a diving catch in deep center field in the fifth inning and she made spectacular catch in shallow right center in the sixth. Kenya Pereira gave up six hits and struck out five to earn the win for OHS, ranked No. 4 in Class 7A. R ROOFING Locally Owned FREE EstimatesLic# CCC057668Qualty roofing at affordable prices!

Saturday, March 30, 2013 NEWS-GAZETTE, Page A9 All-County girls basketball By J. Daniel Pearson For the News-Gazette Mention the word basketball to Julia Ingler and her face lights up immediately. A self-proclaimed gym rat, Ingler says she would rather play basketball than just about anything in the world. As a junior point guard for Harmony High, Ingler averaged more than 14 points a game and came within one game of leading the Longhorns to their first final four appearance. Ingler is t he Osceol a Gazette Girls High Basketball Player of the Year, an honor she shares with Osceola Highs Montana Bass. Basketball is my passion, and to be named Player of the Year is really exciting, Ingler said. I play on the same travel team with Montana, so its really cool to share the honor with her. Ingler was nothing short of spectacular for the Longhorns this season. The team finished with a 22-5 record, including a perfect 6-0 mark in regular season district play. The Longhorns won the district title before beating East Ridge and Poinciana in the regional tournament. Only a 37-24 loss in the 7A Region 2 final to Haines City, the same team that knocked the Longhorns out of the playoffs last season, kept the team from reaching the state tournament. That one hurt a lot, Ingler said. Despite not playing well, we were just three points down at the start of the fourth quarter and had a real chance to win. They went on a run and we didnt answer and it was frustrating. Still, Ingler played a key role in getting Harmony to that point. In the district final and in the first two rounds of regional play, Ingler scored 62 points including a game-high 24 against East Ridge in the quarterfinals and 21 against Poinciana in the semifinals. Its something Coach Paul Strauch said is in her DNA. Julia always steps up big in big games, Strauch said. And its not just her scoring. She always has the green light to shoot, but she understands the game. She sees the floor well and can find open teammates. Strauch said Ingler works well in the team system. As we started to get into district play, we would ask her to guard the other teams best player, he said. Sometimes she would be giving up 4 or 5 inches, but she wouldnt care or complain. The teams success is always her top priority. The Hamony coach pointed to one game as an example. The other team was playing a box-and-1 and had their best player guarding Julia. We told her to position herself in one corner to force the player to come out of the middle and guard her. A lot of star players would resent that, but Julia understood what we were trying to do and went with it. With four junior starters or key contributors coming back for Harmony, Ingler says getting to the final four is her immediate goal. We came within one game of getting there this past season, Ingler said. And it was a game we felt was winnable. I know we all will be dedicated to getting to Lakeland next season. And it is Inglers work ethic that could very well get the Longhorns to the promised land. We met after the season and talked about what we needed to do to get better, Ingler said. One of the things we felt we needed to do was to become a better shooting team and we were all challenged to take 20,000 practice shots each during the offseason. Its something I know we all are going to do. Strauch says that Inglers success comes from three places. Obviously, she is a skilled player. But more than that, it has been her work ethic and willingness to learn and be coached that has made her so outstanding, Strauch said. Shes our top player, but if you ask our players they will tell you the coaches get on her more than any other player. We do it because we know she wants to become a better basketball player and absorbs that constructive criticism like a sponge. Ingler averaged 14.4 points and made a team-high 67 3-point field goals. Although she says her goal is to help her team get to state next season, she also has a goal of playing college basketball. It would be a dream come true for me, Ingler said. I cant imagine not playing basketball.Harmony guard Julia Ingler plans to take 20,000 practice shots before next season.News-Gazette Photo/Andrew Sullivan Follow us on Twitte r Gym rats lead countys stars By Rick Pedone Sports Editor Osceola County senior boys and girls b asketball player s turned in impressive performances at the Osceola County All-Star game Saturday at St. Cloud. The West out-gunned the East, 91-86, as all-star MVP Romelo Banks of Celebration scored 20 points and had 10 blocks. All-star selections Stone Treadwell (18) of New Dimensions, Josh Antoine (16) of Osceola and Zeke Cox (10) of Life Academy all contributed. Alex Forde of Osceola scored 10. All-star selections Kelvin Gueverra (20), of Harmony and Gateways Joel Brown (18) led the East. Gateways Teshawn Hodge scored 7. Forde (19) edged City of Lifes Tyler Travelute (18) in the 3-point shooting competition. In the girls contest, the Dark team edged the White, 53-49, as all-star selections Geri Navarro (16) and Brandii Walker (16), both of Poinciana, and Gateways Tiffany Charneco (10) led the way. All-Star MVP Jhosinoory Diaz (15) of Osceola led the Dark team and Osceolas Jameica Daniels (10) and Celebrations Tuesday Webb (10) were all-star selections. Celebrations Gabby Ortiz scored 11 points. Gateways Ashley Callazo (19) edged Osceolas Diaz (18) in the 3-point competition. Horns Julia Ingler thrives on basketball Basketball seniors showcased talents By J. Daniel Pearson For the News-Gazette Los Angeles Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant once said that, Everything negative pressure, challenges is all an opportunity for me to rise. Perhaps no quote better describes Osceola Highs Montana Bass, the Osceola News-Gazette Girls Basketball Player of the Year, an honor she shares with Harmonys Julia Ingler. A 5-7 shooting guard/point guard, Bass overcame losing her home in a mid-January fire, but still managed to lead Osceola to a 21-7 record this season. It was a pretty horrible, Bass says of the Jan. 10 fire. The family traveled to Lake Minneola for Osceolas game that night when the fire broke out and ripped through the family residence destroying the home and almost all of the familys possessions. We were forced to move in with my grandmother for a few months while we located another house to rent, Bass said. It was a little cramped and just doing simple things like getting our homework done was difficult because my siblings and I had just one computer to share. All my basketball gear, including my practice uniform, was destroyed. Between home, school and basketball, it was pretty hectic. Bass said the Osceola community helped her and her family recover from the tragedy. I really give a lot of credit to my teammates, my classmates, and the whole community, Bass said. They really helped our family. We received donations from all over and it helped us return to normalcy. It can be argued that adversity builds character and despite playing with a lot on her mind, Bass responded by helping lead Osceola to a 20-win season, including wins in its last five regular season games. The season ended with a tough 58-55 loss to East Ridge in the district semifinals. Osceola rallied to take a fourth-quarter lead only to see East Ridge win in the last minute. They were a good team but we beat them twice in the regular season, Bass said. Its a tough way to end the season. Bass posted an outstanding season in all aspects of the game, averaging 15.5 points, 6.7 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 3.8 steals per game. She drained 71 3-point field goals shooting almost 40 percent from behind the line all while splitting time between point guard and shooting guard. Montana makes no bones about what position she likes the most. Shooting guardI really like to score, Bass said. But playing team basketball is more important, so I was willing to play anywhere. Osceola Coach Barner Cooks has nothing but praise for Bass and her accomplishments. Montana has worked hard from day one since arriving on campus, Cooks said. She is extremely coachable, and has the determination to be the best at what she does. A rising senior, things will be different for Bass next season. The team graduates three senior starters this spring, meaning Bass will be asked to provide leadership next season. Were going to be really young next season and thats going to put me in a different role on the team, Bass said. But its something I am really looking forward to. I am going to have an opportunity to motivate and help our younger players next year. As for being named coplayer of the year with Harmonys Ingler, Bass said she was surprised. Its been a goal of mine since my freshman year, but I really thought I would have to wait. There were a lot of good players in the county this year and its certainly an honor to be even considered as a junior. Colleges have also been taking notice of Bass play. St. Josephs (Pennsylvania), Georgia Southern, and East Tennessee have already recruited Montana, and more likely will follow. Playing college basketball and hopefully in the WNBA has always been the dream, Bass said.Osceola guard Montana Bass likes to score, whether it is on a drive to the basket, like here, or from beyond the 3-point arc.News-Gazette Photo/Andrew Sullivan Players of the Year: Montana Bass (OHS) Julia Ingler (HHS)All-county team: Osceola: Jasmine Rios, Kimani Francois, Gabby Goeins.

Who would have thought that Abraham Lincoln was actually funny? All of those schoolboy impressions seem to make the 16th president a supremely serious individual, with the weight of the nation and a horrible, never-ending Civil War on his shoulders. Lincoln (Daniel Day-Lewis) still carries the weight of the country on his impressive frame in the Steven Spielberg film, just out on Blu-ray/ DVD, but he is also shown as a man who loves to tell stories and get others to laugh. Lincoln (Dreamworks) focuses on the final months of the war and Lincolns life and his never-ending push to get the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery, the law of the land. It is an amazing time in American history, the White House has an open door policy, even with war raging, and seemingly, Americas political parties are the polar opposite of what they are today: Republicans, including Lincoln, are progressive and deemed radical, by the Democrats. Lincoln is crowded with outstanding performances, including, of course, that of Academy Award winner Lewis. Acting kudos also go to Sally Field as Mrs. Lincoln, Tommy Lee Jones as Thaddeus Stevens, Hal Holbrook as Preston Blair and David Strathairn as William Seward among others in the impressive cast. With the addition of Lincoln on Blu-ray, 2013 is shaping to be a boon year for lovers of the format with so many quality films from 2012 now available (including the already reviewed here Argo, Life of Pi, Moonlight Kingdom, Les Miserables, Zero Dark Thirty). Bonus features vary (Lincoln is available as a singledisc DVD, two-disc Blu-ray and three-disc Blu-ray).

And you dont have to buy one of those fancy pre-packaged kits either. The basics of egg-dyeing only require a package of multi-color food coloring, vinegar and boiling water. Just mix one-half cup of boiling water with a tablespoon of vinegar and 10 to 20 drops of food color in a cup, depending on the desired color. Repeat for each color. If you are feeling more ambitious, you can explore online for other techniques such as sponge painting, crackle color and even tie-dyeing. For those of you with kids, Kissimmee and St. Cloud both have Easter egg hunts scheduled for today (Saturday). My friends in the know, like Andrew Sullivan, Osceola News-Gazette staff photographer, brings his daughter to these insanely popular events, despite the bedlam. I guess that is part of the fun. In St. Cloud, the Eggstravaganza (there should be a law or something forbidding Egg in words like this) will be held today from 9 a.m. until 11 a.m. at Stephanie Leigh Rothstein Memorial Park. St. Clouds event has gotten so large it has been moved from Peghorn Nature Park to the Stephanie Leigh Park at 2701 Missouri Ave. Some 8,000 plastic eggs will be hidden with four age groups hunting for eggs. Three-year-olds kick things off at 9:15 a.m.; 4 to 5-year-olds get their turn at 9:30 a.m.; 6 to 7-years at 9:45 a.m. and 8-9 years is at Easter events in Central Florida to put a little hop in your step See Road, page B-3 Follow us on Twitte r www.twitter.com/OsceolaSport s Putting On Your DVDsPhoto/McMormickGet creative with t hat favorite Easter tradition, dyeing egg without buying f ancy egg c oloring kits.
